The Montreal Canadiens are the 24-7 Party Daddies

The Montreal Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins in a playoff series for the 24th time, a record mark in professional sports. The 5-0 Game Seven victory in Montreal on Monday night, April 21, extended their playoff series record to 24-7 all-time vs. the Bruins.

The Montreal Canadiens do not have the most championships in professional sports ever since they relinquished that crown to the New York Yankees in 1999. But the two franchises do still share parental rights over the Boston franchises in their respective leagues. So if you're a Bruin player, you should just tip your hat and call the Canadiens your "daddy," ala Pedro Martinez.

Nineteen is the bond that the Yankees and Canadiens share. Nineteen is the discrepancy of rings between the Yankees' 26 rings to the Red Sox' seven rings. Nineteen is the discrepancy of rings between the Canadiens 24 rings and the Bruins five rings.

If you're a Boston fan, maybe 19 is the loneliest number that you'll ever know. Then again, maybe it'll be 20.
